joining us is senator cornyn from texas. what do you make of these charges that republicans are behind some of the protests taking place? >> i remember when president bush was in office, code pink and moveon.org states 30 boisterous protests. -- staged pretty boisterous protest. i think these folks are respectfully but loudly proclaiming their concern and expressing their rights that are protected by the first amendment of the constitution. rick: an opinion piece this morning, the speaker of the house, writing an editorial saying that those people that show up at these meetings and try to drown out the other views are in effect an american -- unamerican. >> i think that is really a pretty harsh statement about americans who are concerned about losing the health insurance coverage they have now, seniors worry about drastic cuts in medicare, which as you know is on a path to bankruptcy in 2017. people are worried and expressing their concerns. my hope would be that they would be respectful and allow discussion and not try to s

he joins us now. is it true that these projections do not even include the cost of cap and trade legislation and reforming health care? >> that is true. if we recall, ben bernanke, the chair of the federal reserve, indicated to me when i asked him about this earlier in the year, certainly, trillion dollar deficit going forward as far as the eye could see is unsustainable. that is where we are right now, without including health insurance reform were cap and trade. the reason the german and so many of us are nervous about this is we have seen a tripling of the deficits. 33% increases in some of these appropriations bills. this money needs to be borrowed from someone, and the interest presumably need to be paid. you just had the office of management and budget increase their production to $9 trillion over the next 10 years. certainly, a greater number than all the budgets that preceded it. jon: you know the argument, in the government, you just print more money. >> as an enthusiast for free market econo
